Limited Out in an Hour and a Half

5 Hour Trip – Rockfish3 adults

I took my 2 boys rock fishing and we had a great experience with Captain Lyle. The Prospect is a really nice boat and the Captain maintained it very well. We all caught so many fish that we limited out in an hour and a half. I highly recommend anyone wanting to fish to use his service

    Great trip

    10 Hour Trip – Halibut4 adults

    I had an excellent experience on this trip. On the way out to the fishing location and throughout our time on the water, we had a great conversation with the captain, and the overall fishing was fantastic. Unfortunately, I forgot to take my medication, so I had to stop fishing a bit early. However, we remained out on the water, and my friends continued to catch several more fish before we decided to head back. I highly recommend this trip to anyone. I plan on booking another trip for next year and may look into booking a tuna trip as well. 5 stars.

    One of my bucket list things to do.

    10 Hour Trip – Halibut4 adults

    Capt Lyle and his wife Stephanie were fantastic!! Super nice people and went above and beyond to help us catch Halibut. Seas were a bit rough but it didn’t stop Capt Lyle!! We were one fish shy of limiting out and if the seas weren’t so rough I’m sure Capt Lyle would have stayed out to get that last fish. If your are looking for a guided trip out of Newport with just your family or friends, Capt Lyle and Stephanie are super great people to be with out on the water. They will also process your catch!! We are already planning on booking another trip and it won’t get here soon enough!!

    5 Hour Trip – Rockfish5 adults

    This was our first time to do anything like this.  lila was a great communicator from the start including answering questions before we even officially booked. He was ready for us at the docks. We went out and had our limit by 8:30 AM. When we got back in,  he cleaned the kitchen and had it ready for us shortly after. Would absolutely recommend Lyle to anyone, especially if this is your first time.

    Fantastic first trip deep sea fishing!

    5 Hour Trip – Rockfish3 adults

    Captain Lyle was great! Called to make sure we were all ready and answer any questions we had the night before and was ready for us with everything we needed for the morning of fishing! We all limited out and even in rough seas had a wonderful trip! He is highly experienced with a calm demeanor that makes everyone feel comfortable and confident on the boat.
